Visitors are continuing to turn up in their droves for a first sight of King Richard III’s new tomb.

The monument in Leicester Cathedral was unveiled at the end of March in a service at the end of a week of events marking the reburial of the medieval monarch who was killed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.

His remains were found beneath a city car park in 2012 but now have a more fitting final resting place beneath a grave top of black Kilkenny marble and a monument of Swaledale fossilstone.
